On this fourteenth day of August in the year of our Lord eighteen hundred & thirty two personally appeared in open Court before the Honorable Sherman Leland Judge of the Court of Probate now sitting at Quincy in & for the said County Dr. Samuel Hinsley Grover a resident of Milton in the County & State aforesaid aged seventy nine eight years who being first duly sworn according to Law doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed the seventh of June eighteen hundred & thirty two. That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers & served as herein after stated - to wit. At the commencement of the Revolution he was in Cambridge College & while instruction there was suspended he served for a short time as a volunteer in the Artillery in different companies in guarding the shores in Braintree & Roxbury. About the first of Sept. 1776 he was appointed surgeon's Mate by Dr. John Warren of the army & immediately went into service in the General Hospital at Cambridge. On the first of the following December he received a warrant from John Morgan Director General

& which is annexed hereto. of the army. Under this he still continued in the Hospital until the British left Boston & he then went with the army to New York.
There he was first stationed in the hospital on Long Island, but after the unfortunate battle in which Gen. Sullivan was taken prisoner he retreated with the American army first to New York, then across the Hudson & through the Jerseys to Philadelphia & then to Bethlehem. Here he was ordered back to Trenton, but did not arrive until after the battle. He was next at Morristown, then to Fishkill; - was with the army under Gen. Howe at West-Chester at Haverford where he had the small pox & at Danbury where he had his clothes burnt by the British. —
In May 1777 was ordered to Boston & stationed in the Small Pox Hospital on Prospect Hill in Cambridge with Dr. Eustis late Gov. of Mass. until the following July; when he obtained per- -mission to go to sea as surgeon in the Brig Gen. Mercer, having injured his health in the public service - & although he received no discharge this was not public service. In May 1778 - returned & took charge of the Medical Store in Boston & also attended the sick on Banker Hill in Charles Town, but lived in Boston until about the 1st. following when he had permission to go home on account of ill health. Had no discharge

then I was obliged to hold himself in readiness when called for. But he was not called for any more nor did he ask for pay from the said time of bet. He was, as will be seen by computation, in actual service for the U.S. more than two years; & his pay was twenty dollars per month.
And the said Glover further states that he was born in Milton in said County of Norfolk. in the year seventeen hundred & fifty four three that at the time he entered the service his home was in that part of Braintree now called Hingham & that since the revolu- -tion any more he has resided in Milton aforesaid. & that there is a record of his age in the town clerk's office in said Milton which is herunto annexed. He is well known to the persons who have testified to his character for truth & his reputation of having been in the revolutionary war; & further that during all the aforesaid time he was attached to the General Hospital as before stated. There were four principal Surgeons. Warren. Foster & McNight & one William Easton  not recalled & said Glover was particularly under said Warren as mate. & he hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present, & declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any state.

From the papers on file in the pension claim S. 1665, it appears that Samuel Kinsley Glover , the son of Elijah and Abigail Glover, was born in Milton, Mass. June 28, 1753, and at the commencement of the Revolution, he lived in that part of Braintree, later called Quincy, Mass. At that time he was in college at Cambridge and when instruction was suspended there, he volunteered and served a short time in various artillery companies, guarding the shores at Braintree and Roxbury. About the first of September 1775, he was appointed Surgeon's Mate, by Doctor John Warren in the General Hospital at Cambridge. On December 1, 1775, he was appointed Mate in the General Hospital service by Director General, Doctor John Morgan and was stationed in hospitals at Cambridge and on Long Island, retreated with the army through New Jersey, was with the army under General Heath, had the small-pox at Danbury, and in May 1777 was stationed at the small-pox hospital on Prospect Hill until the next July when he obtained leave to go to sea as Surgeon on the am

Marblehead, September 26th, 1844.
Honored Sir:
Your favor of the 11th inst. Denying the claim of the heir of the late Doctor Samuel H. Glover, and stating that in his Declaration he represented that the pay he received while in service "was twenty dollars a month," has caused much surprise here.
In a letter before me, written with the sanction of William Glover Esqr, the only living child of the Doctor, the following observations are made: "The Documents forwarded by Mr Glover, which are now at Washington, will fully prove that Dr. Glover served in the Army long after the pay which he was entitled to was raised from £12 (or $40) to £18 (or $60) per month." It is therefore very evident that there must be some mistake on one side or the other - ( clerical or accidental no doubt) in regard to the amount of pay the Doctor received while in service.

But I would very respectfully submit that it is hoped the heir of Doctor Glover will not be denied the benefit of an increase of pay or pension in right of his deceased father, if indeed his pay - the father's pay - while in service, did not exceed $20 per month; for to base the Doctor's pay upon this latter amount could of course have given him under the provisions of the law of '32 but one half the original per annum allowance which the Gen. Department actually granted to him in his lifetime.
(Doctor Glover served in the Hospital Department , and the claim of his heir is understood and believed to be in all respects analogous to that of the heir of Doctor Abijah Cheever, of this the County of Essex, Massachusetts - who was himself also a Surgeon's Mate of the Hospital Department , and whose grade and rate of pension were identically the same as Doctor Glover's; and Doctor Cheever's heir have recently been allowed an increase, in his right, from $480 to $600 per annum, - upon the same evidence and statement of facts - as I am credibly informed - as the heir of Doctor Glover has furnished.

I therefore very respectfully hope and trust that the Hon. Department will be satisfied upon further examination into the legal merits of the claim of William Glover Esq., as the only living child and heir of his late father, Doctor Glover, aforesaid, — that he is entitled to the same rate of Increase, in right of his venerable father, as has been already allowed to the heirs of Doctor Abijah Cheever.
I am, with very great respect, Your Honors' humble servt. James Gregory

Milton Jan 22 nd 1845.
Mr Gregory.
Dear Sir
I received your letter of the 14 th on the 16 th & have delayed answering it, that I might be enabled to make a thorough search of all my father's papers. The only document of importance in the present case is as follows. "At the commencement of the Revolutionary war, I was in college, that institution being suspended, I served as a volunteer in guarding the shores, & in the Artillery in different companies in Braintree where was my home, & in Roxbury. On the first of September 1775 Dr John Warren, one of the principal Surgeons of the Army, appointed me into the general Hospital at Cambridge as one of his mates. Having studied Physic for some time, did not receive a warrant until the first of December following, from Morgan Director general of the Army. I went with the Army to New York, was stationed on Long-Island in the Hospital was there when the unfortunate battle was fought, when Gen l Sullivan was taken prisoner, retreated with the Army to the city from there across the Hudson, through the Jerseys to Philadelphia, thence to Bethlehem, was there ordered back by express to Trenton, but did not arrive until the battle was over, afterwards to Morristown, thence to Peapack, went with the Army under Gen l Heath to West Chester, to Stamford where I had the small pox, to Danbury. In May 1777, went to Boston & was stationed in the small pox Hospital at Prospect Hill in

Cambridge with Doct Eustis. I lost my clothes at Danbury when that was burnt by the British. In July 1777. had permission to go to sea as surgeon in the Brig Gen t Mercer having contracted ill health in the army. returned in May 1778. not having been discharged. Per order took charge of the Military medical stores in Boston & attended the sick soldiers in Charlestown on Bunker Hill. In the fall, say in Oct, I had permission to go home to Braintree & Milton, where I had a long turn of fever & ague, quotidian, held myself liable to be called upon at any time, never having received a discharge, nor did I call for my pay or receive any. I was in actual service in the army time sufficient to entitle me to a Pension agreeably to act of Congress, & much more. My pay was twenty dollars per month. I was 78 yrs old on the 28 th June 1832."
It appears from the above, my Father never was discharged from the Army, he was doing duty in Oct 1778 after which he held himself liable to be called upon at any moment. In Feb last I wrote you that I had seen my Father's discharge, which was a mistake, the paper I saw was a certificate from Col Morgan, stating that he had performed his duty satisfactorily &c. This document which I have copied is probably a duplicate of one sent to Washington with his other papers when he received his Pension -
Yours Respectfully. W Glover

Marblehead, Feby. 26th, 1844.
Honored Sir, —
At the request of William Glover Esq., of Milton, County of Norfolk, Massachusetts, I have the Honor to forward herewith a Declaration of his, — made with the view of claiming any arrears or increase of Pension that may have been due his late father, Doctor Samuel H. Glover, Revolutionary Pension under the law of June 7th, 1832, deceased.
It is understood that the late Dr. Glover was a Surgeon of the Hospital Department, and that he continued in service long after his pay was raised from £12 to £18 — or sixty dollars per month , — evidence of which is understood to be already filed in the case with the Declaration upon which he was pensioned.
I am, with very great respect, Your Honor's humble servt. James Gregory

Marblehead, April 3 rd 1845.
Honored Sir:
I have this day received a letter from Samuel Henshaw Bates Esq r enclosing the Pension Certificate sent to his lamented late father for heirs of the late Dr Amos Holbrook, and announcing that since he wrote the undersigned on the 25 th Ult. (as named in my letter to your Honor on the 31 st Ult.) he had, after further search, found the document.
The object of this letter therefore, is, to prevent any further labor or trouble to the Hon. Department in this behalf.
I beg leave, however, to observe an conclusion, that a copy of any reply to any action of the deceased Hon. Mr Bates, which he may have had or taken with the Department respecting the claim of heirs of the late Doct r Samuel R. Glover, will be deemed a favor, - and in particular the views of the Department relative to the services performed by Dr Glover as Surgeon on board the Brig General Mercer.

Has he made a relinquishment of every claim to any other pension than the one under the Act of June 7, 1832? Yes VIII. Has the Court given their opinion? Yes IX. Has the Clerk given his certificate?

EXPLANATORY NOTES.
QUERE V. In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words: "Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service, but according to the best of his recollection he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades; For _____ year _____ months, and _____ days, I served as a _____ For _____ months and _____ days, I served as a _____; and for such service I claim a pension."

It is important in all cases to determine with precision the period for which each applicant served, and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the pensioner and the length of his service. The use of the phrase about three or four months is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable. Some persons who apply for pensions merely state they served two years in the militia, &c. without specifying the tours; the names of the officers, and other particulars respecting their service. This form of a declaration is highly objectionable. It must in every case be clearly shewn under what officers the applicant served; the duration of each term of engagement; the particular place or places where the service was performed; that the applicant served with an embodied corps called into service by competent authority; that he was either in the field or in garrison; and for the time during which the service was performed, he was not employed in any civil pursuit.
† QUERE XIV.  Proof of Service.
In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of the claimants entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magistrate must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office.
‡ QUERE XVI.  Mode of authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticates the papers is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other paper authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the ends of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.
□ In every case where the clerk of the court, or other certifying officer, has no public seal of office, the certificate of a member of congress, proving the official character and signature of the certifying officer, should accompany the papers.
The corrections suggested by this Brief have been made by the Judge of Probate & her assist. A. C. Cushing Atty
